During your first visit to the Y, please stop at the Membership Services Desk where you will sign our waiver, take your membership photo and receive your membership key fob.

There are more than 50 FREE group exercise classes included in your membership, but there is an additional charge for on-site Child Watch, swim lessons and sports programs, as well as specialty fitness programs, such as CrossFit and personal training.

• Day use lockers are available at no cost at our Aquatic Center location. Our easy-to-use built in locks provide you security without you having to bring your own lock.
• Day use lockers are also available at our Downtown location at no cost; however, you must bring your own lock. Lockers are also available to rent monthly or yearly at a very low rate. Locks are available for purchase at our Downtown location.

• As a nonprofit charitable organization, the YAKIMA FAMILY YMCA strives to make membership and programs accessible to all, regardless of their financial circumstances. To apply for financial assistance, please visit the Membership Services Desk at either of our locations and fill out an application. Our Membership Services Staff will inform you immediately as to whether you qualify.
• Our Annual Giving Campaign raises funds to help provide financial assistance for membership and program fees. If you would like to make a gift to support the campaign, please visit our online donor center.

The YAKIMA FAMILY YMCA accepts the Active & Fit/Silver & Fit, FitOn and Renew Active® - health and fitness programs. Please contact your insurance company or employer HR Department to see if you qualify and for help in the enrollment process. Once you are enrolled, visit the Membership Services Desk at either of our locations to start your membership. Does not include Nationwide privileges.

As a member of the YAKIMA FAMILY YMCA, you receive free access to both the Downtown and Aquatic Center locations plus Nationwide privileges at any participating YMCA in the United States. This is not included for insurance memberships.

Nationwide Membership enables you to visit any participating Y in the United States through membership at your “home” YMCA (your home location is the facility that enrolled you as a member and that collects your membership dues). 

• Valid for active, full facility YMCA members
• Nationwide member visitors must use their home Y at least 50% of the time
• Program-only participants and special memberships are not eligible for Nationwide Membership
• If you have known periods of seasonal travel (when you will not be using your Home Y at least 50% of the time or will be a resident of another area for more than 28 days), you will need to place your Home Y membership on hold or cancel it, and join the Y where you will be living for that time period. Please plan ahead, as it may take several weeks to place your account on hold.
• If you are a college student, you will need to join the YMCA where your usage is 50% or greater. Nationwide Membership is based on individual usage not the family unit. Most Y's have a young adult or college membership option, or you can ask about the financial assistance program. Most YMCAs require a photo ID for all visitors. Please bring a photo ID with you for a seamless customer experience.
• You will be asked to sign a waiver when visiting other YMCA locations.

A 30-day written notice is required to cancel a membership. A cancellation form may be obtained at any YMCA location.

The YAKIMA FAMILY YMCA offers a variety of payment options to best fit your needs. Payment can be made monthly through bank draft/credit card draft/EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) or pre-paid for any number of months up to a full year. Memberships paid a full 12 months in advance receive a waived joining fee and a 5% discount.

No. YMCA membership is on a flexible monthly basis.

• Under ADA and WA State Law, any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other disability, is allowed in our facility. Service dogs are allowed to accompany the individual to any place in the building or facility where members, guests and program participants are allowed. The individual must remain with their service dog at all times. If it is not apparent what your service dog does, we may ask you if it is a service dog and what tasks it performs for you. Under WA State law, dogs that assist deaf or hard of hearing individuals must wear an identifying orange collar.
• Neither the ADA nor WA State Law covers dogs or support animals whose function is to provide comfort or emotional support, even with a doctor’s note.
• Please note: Any damages caused by the service dog will be the responsibility of the individual. And, we may exclude the service dog if it poses a direct threat to health and safety (i.e. if dog is aggressively barking and snapping at others). The service dog may also be excluded if it is not housebroken, or if it is out of control and the individual is unable or unwilling to effectively control it.

Childcare services are available during certain times of the day for children 3 months to 6 years at our on-site Child Watch. This service is only available at the YMCA + Aquatic Center and is not currently offered at our Downtown location. Day or monthly pass options are available for purchase.

We also offer the YCREW after-school drop-in center for youth in 1^st-8^th grades at the YMCA + Aquatic Center location (not currently offered at our Downtown location). There is no cost, but participating youth must be members.
